THE NYCHAIR X FITS INTO A FLOOR SPACE AROUND THE SIZE OF A DINNER TABLE.
The chair’s minimalist design creates a place to relax without taking up much space.
The height of the seat and elbow rests is set based on ergonomics and typical living environments, and the backrest angle and chair fabric combine to create maximum comfort for the user.
IT CAN BE FOLDED AND CARRIED BETWEEN ROOMS AT JUST 6.5 KG
The Nychair X is light and easy to carry for women and men alike. And measuring just 15 cm deep, it can be folded up and stored with ease.
DURABLE KURASHIKI SAILCLOTH
The removable seat is made from top-grade Kurashiki sailcloth that can easily support the user’s weight and the structure of the chair. Kurashiki sailcloth is an outstanding piece of fabric made from natural materials at the same factory since 1888. This highly functional cloth does not create static electricity and lasts a very long time.
JAPAN-MADE QUALITY
At our trusted factory in Japan, we use our many years of expertise to put together the finest materials and create the main body of the chair, with special care paid to the elbow rests and bending of the chair tubing.
DESIGNER TAKESHI NII
The designer Takeshi Nii was one of the creators of the Nychair X. He was a third generation owner of a company manufacturing Kendo equipment in Tokushima Prefecture.
He aimed to “make a chair like a curry rice everybody loves.” That is to say a chair would be reasonably priced, comfortable to sit on and useful. And its shape allows the user to relax to the full.
NYCHAIR X
The flagship Nychair X remains upright even when folded and its shape allows the user to relax to the full. The NychairX Rocking makes it easy to get up from the chair.
The chair moves freely when the user shifts their body weight, giving a feeling of safety. When combined with the NychairX or NychairX Rocking, the Nychair X Ottoman makes for an even more relaxing experience. It is also perfect as a stool.
